#5 I thought one of the complaints of the current PA forces is that they aren't getting paid. Given their risky life under historic circumstances (when the Mid-East was "stable") and how much riskier it is now (I'll take some of that popcorn!), I can't imagine that pensions have ever been their foremost concern. Besides, doesn't dear Suha hold those monies in trust? |

#4 What'll you think will happen if he pulls their pensions like United or Polaroid? My bet is they won't get lawyers and sue... |

#3 importance depends on whose involved. Just old incompetents being fired (good, but no biggie) or old Arafat hands being purged by Dahlan (much more significant) |

#1 I bet this was staged to give GWB that Abbas was actually doing soemthing. These people are full of shit. Just like they stage "discovering arms smuggling tunnels." If there is an engagement where there are several casualtities ... I might believe it was for real. |
